This will be the sixth time in the past seven seasons where the Red Raiders, who are 9-3 all-time in home season openers, have begun at the friendly confines of the John Walker Soccer Complex.

3 LARGE CROWD EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY S SEASON OPENER Since the John Walker Complex opened in 2008, large crowds have become quite normal as Texas Tech has averaged roughly 1,000 fans each of the past four seasons. The Red Raiders are expected to play in front of another large crowd Sunday evening, a regular occurrence for Tech in season openers. Tech has played in front of 1,000 or more fans in each of its home openers the past four seasons, including a crowd of 1,584 against Colorado State a year ago that ranked as the eighth-largest in program history. HOME OPENER ATTENDANCE (LAST FOUR SEASONS) Year Opponent Attendance 2013 Colorado State 1, Idaho 1, Rice 1, TCU 1,356 INSIDE THE ORAL ROBERTS SERIES Texas Tech will be meeting Oral Roberts on Sunday for the ninth time in school history on the soccer pitch. The Red Raiders are 5-3 all-time against the Golden Eagles with wins in three of the past four meetings between the two schools. This is the fifth time Oral Roberts has traveled to Lubbock to face the Red Raiders, who enter Sunday s contest a perfect 4-0 when hosting the Golden Eagles. Tech is 2-0 against Oral Roberts under head coach Tom Stone thanks to a 4-0 rout on Sept. 18, 2008, and a 1-0 shutout victory on Sept. 12, The two schools have opened a season against each other twice previously with Oral Roberts pulling off a 3-0 victory in 2013 before Tech responded with a 6-2 win a year later. RED RAIDERS LEAD THE BIG 12 FOR VICTORIES OVER LAST TWO SEASONS Winning has pretty much become contagious for the Red Raiders the past two seasons under Tom Stone. During that stretch, Texas Tech has recorded 34 victories and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship in both seasons. This is the winningest stretch for the Red Raiders in school history as Tech won 16 matches in 2012 and then followed up with a school-record 18 victories a year ago. That success has made Tech the winningest Big 12 program the past two seasons as the Red Raiders lead all league opponents in victories as Baylor has recorded 30 wins while West Virginia has combined for 27 in third place.

The Red Raiders were also among the top-25 in two other polls, coming in at No. 15 by TopDrawerSoccer.com and No. 22 by Soccer America. This is the highest preseason ranking in school history for the Red Raiders, who opened the 2013 season ranked 24th by the NSCAA. Tech closed the 2013 season ranked 17th in the NSCAA poll, its highest postseason ranking in school history. RED RAIDERS PICKED SECOND IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLL Following the best season in school history, Texas Tech was picked to once again finish second in the Big 12 Preseason Poll released earlier this summer. This is the second-straight season where the Red Raiders have been slotted in second place by the conference coaches. Tech followed through with its 2013 preseason prediction as the Red Raiders finished in Big 12 play, ending the year a point back of preseason favorite West Virginia for the Big 12 regular season title.

Tech was one of just six programs nationally with multiple players on the watch list that totaled 35 women s players overall, three of which that came from the Big 12 Conference. This is the second-straight season where Beckie has been named to the watch list. Hinkle, meanwhile, is a candidate for the first time in her career.

Janine Beckie led all Red Raiders with 12 goals which ranked among the Big 12 leaders at the conclusion of the year. She was followed by fellow sophomores Alli Murphy and Briana Rohmer who connected on five goals each as well as Caity Heap who was tied for fourth on the team with four goals. RED RAIDERS RETURNERS BY THE NUMBERS Texas Tech returns the bulk of its roster from a year ago, including its top scorers in Janine Beckie, Alli Murphy, Caity Heap and Briana Rohmer. Below are the percentages per statistical group of returning Red Raiders: PERCENTAGE OF STATS RETURNING (OFFENSIVE) Statistic Percentage Returning Goals 79 Assists 78 Points 79 Shots 76 Shots-on-Goal 75 Game-Winning Goals 72 THE HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE The John Walker Soccer Complex has become quite the home-field advantage for the Red Raiders the past few seasons. Texas Tech, behind its normal raucous crowd, is an impressive 19-2 the past two seasons at home with victories over in-state rival Texas and Big 12 regular season champion West Virginia during that stretch. The Red Raiders snapped the single-season school record with 10 home victories in 2013, breaking the previous mark of nine set just the year before. DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE While the Red Raiders have become known for their offense the past several years, it was their effort on the defensive end last season that boosted the Red Raiders to an season and another trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Red Raiders posted a school-record 17 shutouts in 2013, ranking second nationally for shutout percentage and third for goals-against average after allowing only nine goals all season. Tech shut out 17 of its 23 opponents on the year for a.739 shutout percentage. Tech s nine goals allowed matched the Big 12 record for fewest in a season that previously belonged to Oklahoma State from BECKIE, HINKLE GARNER PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 HONORS In addition to being named to the prestigious MAC Hermann Trophy watch list, Janine Beckie and Jalene Hinkle were both honored as preseason All-Big 12 selections by the conference coaches. Hinkle, who has received numerous preseason accolades this summer, was a unanimous selection to the team for the second-straight season after leading the Red Raiders with a team-high six assists a year ago. She and Beckie were both preseason All-Big 12 selections a year ago as well before eventually earning All-Big 12 first team honors at the end of the year. HINKLE RATED NO. 9 PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY BY TOP DRAWER SOCCER Jaelene Hinkle was rated as the ninth-best player in the country prior to the season by the soccer website TopDrawerSoccer.com. Hinkle, who was also honored on Soccer America s Preseason All-America squad, was the third-highest ranked defender on Top Drawer s list of the top-100 players in the country. Tech was one of just 10 programs nationally and the only one from the Big 12 Conference to have two players ranked in the top 50 as Janine Beckie also made the list at No. 44 overall. BECKIE SHINES AT FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Janine Beckie made what she described as a trip of a lifetime this past summer. Beckie, arguably one of the top forwards in the collegiate game, shined on the international stage as she helped lead Canada to the quarterfinals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup behind a pair of goals in the pool play stage. Beckie led all Canada players with two goals in the tournament, the first coming in a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over Finland that all but kept Canada s chances of advancing alive. She also provided the game-winning assist in the Finland victory. Beckie provided the game-winning goal herself in her next outing, a 1-0 victory over North Korea that advanced Canada past the pool play round and into the knockout stage. Germany ended Canada s tournament run in the quarterfinals, though, with a 2-0 victory. Beckie was able to play in front of several friends and family throughout the tournament as Canada was the host country for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. WATSON LOOKS FOR FIRST CAREER START IN GOAL Following the departure of Victoria Esson due to graduation, Tom Stone knew he would have big shoes to fill in goal, especially after Esson recorded a banner year as a senior when Tech ranked second nationally in shutout percentage and third for goals-against average. Sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Watson will likely get the first opportunity to continue that defensive dominance Sunday evening when it is expected she will earn the start in goal against Oral Roberts. Watson played in all 90 minutes last weekend when Tech defeated No. 25 Denver, 2-1, in its lone exhibition match of the preseason. She played in two matches last season after redshirting the 2012 season. 4

5 STRAHAN GOES FROM FRESHMAN WALK-ON TO SENIOR CAPTAIN When Paige Strahan began preseason practice as a freshman in 2011, she was a walk-on out of Odessa Permian High School who was looking to not just make the team but instead earn a starting spot right away. Strahan, a relatively unknown at the time, earned that start in the 2011 season opener against Rice. Since then, she has been a regular on the field for the Red Raiders, totaling 12 goals and seven assists during that span. Her efforts were rewarded prior to this season as she and fellow senior Jaelene Hinkle were elected captains, a high honor for a Red Raider playing under Tom Stone. NARVAIZ RETURNS FROM KNEE INJURY Lubbock native Taylor Narvaiz will return to the field this fall after missing the entire 2013 season due to a preseason knee injury. Narvaiz, who redshirted the 2013 season, will have two years of eligibility remaining. She combined to play 36 matches while making 18 starts during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, giving Tech a strong option on the back line. TEXAS TECH SET FOR PAIR OF ROAD MATCHES AT NOTRE DAME, CAL The Red Raiders will face a pair of challenging road tests early in the season with trips to California and Notre Dame both on the docket. The two road matches should benefit Texas Tech late in the year when the ratings percentage index (RPI) rankings are released by the NCAA. Both Cal and Notre Dame regularly rank among the top women s programs in the country with Notre Dame debuting at No. 16 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire rankings while Cal is receiving votes in the poll as well. The Notre Dame match will mark the first time the Red Raiders have battled a ranked opponent on the road since topping No. 20 Long Beach State on Sept. 14, TEXAS TECH SOCCER RED RAIDERS WELCOME NINE NEWCOMERS TO 2014 ROSTER Texas Tech welcomed nine newcomers to its roster this fall, another talented recruiting class from head coach Tom Stone, who has landed several of the nation s top recruits in recent years. The class of newcomers features eight freshmen and one transfer in Makenzie Kahan, who arrives at Tech as a junior following two seasons at Oklahoma State. Several freshmen are expected to contribute to the Red Raiders right away, notably Sara Summers, a native of Highland Park, Texas, who was a consistent scoring threat during preseason practices. The true freshmen class also includes goalkeepers Carissa Christensen and Marissa Torres, forwards Natalie Schmutz and Alex Marmureanu, midfielder Haleigh Fancher as well as defenders Rebekah O Brien and Cassie Conarty. TEXAS TECH TOPS DENVER IN LONE EXHIBITION MATCH No. 17 Texas Tech overcame an early first-half deficit with goals from Paige Strahan and Alli Murphy on Aug. 16 to top No. 25 Denver, 2-1, in the lone exhibition match of the preseason. The victory marked the second-straight year where the Red Raiders have defeated a talented Denver squad in preseason action. Denver got on the board first in just the third minute, but Tech responded shortly after with Strahan finding the back of the net in the 18th minute. Tech had to wait until midway through the second half for Murphy to connect on the game-winner in the 71st minute of play. Denver wrapped the 2013 season with 18 victories en route to advancing to the NCAA Tournament. TEXAS TECH, WEST VIRGINIA SELECTED TO APPEAR ON NSCAATV Texas Tech s match at West Virginia on Oct. 10 was selected this summer to appear on NSCAATV.com, marking one of just five women s contests nationally to be selected by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and the only one to feature a pair of Big 12 programs. This is the third time in the past four seasons where the NSCAA has selected a Texas Tech match for its television schedule. The Red Raiders previously faced Oklahoma State during both the 2011 and 2012 seasons as the NSCAA Game of the Week. NSCAA TOP-25 SOCCER AMERICA SOCCER TIMES TOP DRAWER SOCCER NO. SCHOOL PTS LW 1.
